hi, i just joined this community today... i need help: i cant be on birth control because it makes my feet fall asleep and i also have some religious repercussions about it... the only time i ever get acne is when I'm on my period, and i get it REALLY bad- can some one please give me advice? thanks...

Drink lots of water )more than you normally do), eat lots of fruit, green tea and dont try to do anything diferent TO your face becuase its just going to get confused and break out more. Stick to the same cleansing routine and just up your skin-clearing foods!
Good luck!
